Vuzu parties are wild parties which are attended by mostly teenagers, where they indulge in alcohol, drug and substance abuse and sex with various partners.
Police have in the past rounded up youths attending such parties and confiscated alcohol and sex-enhancing pills.
Last November, Bulawayo police arrested 39 students from various schools in the city at a vuzu party.
In May last year, nine juveniles were part of 131 youths arrested in Bulawayo while going to a vuzu party.
